A:  Icon Podcast Production Solutions understand the equipment and how to make the most of it. Most of all, we understand that you want to focus on creating content. Editing audio is time consuming. We’re here to help. We let you do what you do best. Just leave the technical stuff to us.

A:  The process begins by filling out the quick form on our Let’s Get Started form. We’ll then get back with you within two business days to set up a consultation. During the consultation you’ll be able to tell us about you, your podcast, the goals for your podcast, and any other info that you think we should know. We’ll discuss our services and answer any questions you have. If you’re looking for ongoing podcast production, we’ll set up a Dropbox folder for you to upload your raw-audio files. We’ll edit that episode for you at no charge so that you get a full understanding of the quality of our work. Once you sign up for our services, we get to work! If you’re a brand-new podcaster, we set up a punch list tailored specifically for you and your podcast goals. We identify the items needed to launch your podcast and establish a launch plan. If you’re an existing podcaster, we set up a schedule and checklist for each podcast episode. We set up a Dropbox folder on our server so that you can send us raw-audio files. Once the raw-audio files have been edited by our team, we send them to you or prepare them for publishing on your media host (e.g. Libsyn) or website. If you prefer, we can even publish the episodes for you. Quite simply, once we establish your publishing plan, all you have to do is send us your raw-audio files. We can take care of the rest!

A:  You can, spend your time learning all the technical details of editing your podcast and then spend time each week sitting at your computer being a part-time audio engineer, or you can focus on what you do best, and let us do what we do best. We recognise that many podcasters do their own production and delivery. However, we know how important your time is. You have your own business and clients to serve. You have listeners to engage with. You have your family that enjoys having you around. You have ideas that you want to explore or books you want to read.

A: It typically takes us up to 48 hours (excluding weekends) to turn around podcasts that are part of our monthly service packages. However, we recommend that our clients submit their raw-audio recordings to us at least one week before the episode needs to be published. We will then produce the audio; prepare show notes, artwork, and transcripts (if applicable); and prepare everything for approval. The most important thing here is that you get yourself into a regular routine for your production and actually record episodes for multiple weeks ahead of their publishing (aka batching). NOTE: Our transcription service requires at least 48 hours (excluding weekends). Rush service is available for an additional fee.

A: If you’re looking for on-going podcast production, yes.  We have structured our monthly packages to offer you the best variety of services.  However, it is possible to sign up for any of our monthly packages and then add most of our additional services a la carte. If you have a one-time project, audio-book recording, or other specialised project, we can help you with that, too.

A: Yes, absolutely. Launching a new show is an involved and delicate process. It involves planning, timing, coordination, and a good bit of know-how in podcasting. We’ve launched dozens of shows successfully, getting all of them into the New and Noteworthy section in iTunes. We can help you too. Check out and fill in our New Show Setup form for more info.

A:  We help launch and distribute podcasts, and we can help you launch yours, too!  We will consult with you to determine the best equipment, launch strategy, identify your target audience, narrow down your niche, and guide you through every step in launching your podcast.
